The end of one year and the beginning of the next one is the traditional time to look back and reflect on accomplishments and to make new plans. For the outdoors enthusiast, that may mean pondering if we climbed every mountain we hoped to? What adventures will we undertake in the new year? We asked some members of the outdoors community to share their resolutions for 2012. Here's what they said:

Troy Weldy, the Nature Conservancy's New York Director of Ecological Management: He has two resolutions for 2012. He wants to hike with his kids at the Conservancy's Lisha Kill preserve in Niskayuna and he wants to enter 100 invasive species sightings into the iMap Invasives Database (see http://imapinvasives.org/)

Saratoga resident Jeff Farbaniec, who blogs about skiing and hiking at The Saratoga Skier and Hiker (http://saratogaskier.blogspot.com/): He plans to race in the 25K Lake Placid Loppett in early February. The cross-country ski race is held on the original course laid out for the 1980 Winter Olympics.

Farbaniec's wife, Beth Gelber: She also plans to race in the Loppet. Later in the year, she's hoping to finish her quest to climb all 46 of the Adirondack High Peaks – she has just six more peaks to go.

Jim Muller, a Leave No Trace Master Educator in Holland Patent and a founder of the Winter Campers web site (www.WinterCampers.com): Muller said he wants to go camping at least once during every month of 2012.

Laurie Schweighardt, membership director for the Adirondack Mountain Club: She plans to climb the 46 High Peaks again, and "to share my experiences in a blog I'm supposed to be writing (and that's another resolution I need to work on!)." You can catch up with her past hikes at http://adkhikes.blogspot.com/

Blog reader Will Gilcryst: He plans to climb Wakely Mountain near Indian Lake, a peak that's been on his mind for several years, but keeps slipping through the cracks.

As for me: I hope to give downhill skiing another try so I can erase the memory of repeatedly wiping out on the bunny hill as a teenager. My husband Herb wants to compete in another triathlon and spend more time camping.

Whatever your plans for 2012, we wish you a happy and healthy new year.
